Chapter 1961


    James was a soldier


    A soldier’s duty was to protect the country’s people.


    He developed this sense of responsibility after serving in the military for more than ten years. The world


    would be over if everyone shrank away from danger and refused to step up.


    “Well said.” The custodian nodded gently.


    She agreed with James’ words.


    In ancient times, there was a group of people with the same mentality. They were the reason Earth was


    saved.


    “Ms. Custodian, is there any chance I’lle back to life?”


    James’ looked at the custodian with his translucent eyes. He was unwilling to ept his fate. There


    was so much more that he wanted to do, and even more that he had not aplished yet.


    The custodian replied softly, “It’s possible. However, the responsibility and burden ced on you will be


    much heavier ”


    James replied determinedly, “I’ll do whatever it takes.”


    The custodian waved her hand, and James’ illusory body glided upwards.


    His vision went foggy. When he opened his eyes again, he appeared in an unfamiliar ce.


    “Where are we, Ms. Custodian?”


    James looked at the figure slowly forming before him and scanned his surroundings with trepidation.


    He had never been to this unfamiliar ce before.


    Surrounding them were ck and gold walls. It felt like he had been transported to some sort of ebony


    pce.


    “This is the deepest part of the Chamber of Scriptures.”


    The custodian parted her lips, scanned her surroundings, and said, “Untold secrets and powerful


    treasures are stored in this ce. There are also countless magical items left behind by Earth’s


    ancestors kept here. There’s something here that can resurrect you.”


    Overjoyed, James asked, “What is it?”


    “Follow me.”


    The custodian’s spectral body slowly gained corporeal form as she walked forward.


    James followed behind her


    She walked ahead, pushed open a ck stone door, and continued into the depths of the underground


    Cavern.


    After crossing some winding paths, they arrived at a mysterious ce


    Colorful streaks of light shone from the ground and crisscrossed in the air. forming an enigmatic patter

    James did not understand the pattern From his perspective. he could only see the rays of lights


    crisscrossing continuously He could vaguely see some mysterious ancient scriptures. They were


    ancient so he was not able to recognize them.


    “What is this, Ms. Custodian?” James was confused.


    The custodian waved her hand, causing the crisscrossing light rays and ancient scriptures to


    disappear. A ck lotus flower giving off a ck glow appeared before them.


    “This is a Demonic Lotus.”


    The custodian looked at the ck lotus before them.


    The lotus was three meters wide and had nine petals. The petals let off a faint ck glow from within


    them.


    James questioned, “What is this Demonic Lotus?”


    The custodian exined, “In ancient times, a powerful human left it behind after his death.”


    James was puzzled.


    He could not understand why the custodian showed him the ck lotus.


    The custodian turned to look at James.


    James finally saw the custodian’s appearance. She was gorgeous and had lovely features. Her face


    was akin to a wless piece of porcin with no imperfections. Across her alluring face was a rarely-


    seen expression of seriousness.


    “Tell me, James. Do you know who is the enemy of humankind?”
